Normative lifetime of airframes and engines of the Luftwaffe main aircrafts

[Andrey Kuznetsov]

Whether the info about normative lifetime of airframes and engines of the Luftwaffe main aircrafts (Bf109, Bf110, FW190, He111, Ju88, Ju87, FW189 etc) exists? 1st half of 1943 is interesting especially.

Best regards,
Andrey

Thank you, redcap50!

Amazing.

Very interesting, but some data seems strange.
It seems some comments are needed.

Best regards,

You’re welcome Andrey!
I’m not a technician, maybe a senior member can help you out.

While searching on the WWW, I found another tread concerning the same question:

Yes, I can translate the word "Teilüberholung"
But what it means for the aircrafts in 1939-45?

Hi Andrej,

I found this title about overhauling war planes :
Reliability theory and practice (Igor Bazovsky)

and a very interesting film on YouTube:
